Synopsis
Koganei Koito is a teenager who works as an attendant at Takamimi Shrine. The sanctuary is rumored to be inhabited by a deity, but the true resident is an immortal elf who was trapped on Earth some four hundred years ago. Furthermore, the elf is a completely closed person who doesn't want to leave the house... and has developed a taste for video games! In this charming fantasy comedy, the guardians of the sanctuary must satisfy the elf's penchant for the latest gadgets, from handheld games to virtual reality headsets.
The main voice actors are:
